Commissioned by Auberon, the Illuminati joined the Wild Hunt. The denizens of Avalon suspected the Aurelius may have taken shelter in Shambhala- the new capital of Hyperborea.
As Sif explained, many centuries ago the four noble houses of Hyperborea escaped the continent’s destruction. Odin’s house headed for the northern lands while Zeus and Amun led their families through the Strait of Gibraltar- to Egypt and Greece. Still, the Dingir found themselves in the Middle East and founded the religions of that region. After centuries spent acting as the pantheons of those respective cultures, the noble clans reunited and built a new home in the Himalaya mountains.
However, most of the Dingir had already been slain- leaving their family poorly represented. Thanks to their geographical closeness, Zeus and Amun persistently voted together in matters deciding Shambhala’s future, acts which greatly upset Odin and led to his leaving the nation.
Ultimately, the hunters concocted a plan to climb Mount Everest in two groups- letting Odin storm the city to attract Zeus and Amun-ra’s attention while the others slipped in.
Hiring a pair of elderly Sherpa, the Illuminati began to ascend the mountain- their abilities helping them to climb the lower heights in only a matter of hours. While others made camp, Coup and Joseph began to play in the snows- building forts and having snowball fights. Ultimately, as they continued up the mountains, a fight with one of the yeti who guard the mystical city were not their biggest problems… A visit from Abaddon and Semyazza yielded an invitation to Deimos and Chris to join the Synod and Apocatastasis’ side in the war to come…
